Lake Mburo, closest park to see wildlife near Kampala the Capital of Uganda
Lake Mburo is a wonderful and exiting escape from busy Kampala where one can camp (budget or upscale) or overnight at the park Head Quarters. Ranger Moses is waiting for you to take you on either a foot safari, a drive safari or a boat ride on the lake itself. This park has a selection of game to view ranging from zebra and impale to eland and buffalo. Leopards are also sen there. There is no lion but hyena's can be heard. Topi can also be seen there. For birds there is an abundance in the bush and near the lake. Fish eagles, kingfishers, red bishops are among them and if one is lucky a shoebill stork can be spotted near the hippo's or the sitatunga. Relaxing ate the lake is basic and so is the food at the restaurant there. A sundown with a beer in hand takes for a great evening start before going to sleep among the animals.

Very beautiful place with the Mantana Luxury Camp overlooking the lake. Here we saw many zebras! Peaceful, relaxing and away from mass tourism.
It's really a stopover and there is not much wildlife but very pleasant stop
